Continental Divide Trail

The Continental Divide Trail is a 5000 km long trail along the North American Continental Divide from Mexico to Canada. He belongs to the National Scenic Trails.

The trail, which is composed of specially designated paths and minor roads is about 70% completed ( as of 2004). On the unfinished parts one has to seek his own path through the countryside or walk on roadways.

Only slightly more than 20 people each year go all the way and need about six months.
